Manchester City’s perennial talisman Erling Haaland scored his 50th goal on his 50th Premier League appearance at the Etihad Stadium in a devastating performance against Manchester United Sunday which left Pep Guardiola awestruck.
The Catalan coach dropped to his haunches in disbelief shortly before the hour mark when Haaland, having scuttled around United’s befuddled goalkeeper Altay Bayındır, conspired to hit the post. However, Guardiola was among the first to celebrate his striker’s brilliance on either side of that uncharacteristic scuff.
